When San-ta Claus gets your let-ter
3 -4 -3 -2 -3 3
You know what he will say

“Have you been good the way you should
-2 2 2 -1 1 -1
On ev-‘ry sin-gle day?”
3 -3 -3 3 -2* 3 2 2
When San-ta Claus gets your let-ter
3 -4 -3 -2 -3 3
To ask for Christ-mas toys

He’ll take a look in his good book

He keeps for girls and boys.

He’ll stroke his beard, his eyes will glow
-3 3 3 -2* -3 3
And at your name he’ll peer

It takes a lit-tle time, you know

To check back one whole year!

You’ll head his list, you won’t be missed

By San-ta on Christ-mas Eve.
